Practical

Pin is approximate: placed in the water west of Crab Hill village (OSM) between Crab Point and Johnsons Point (OSM). Antigua Marine Guide names Crab Hill Bay / Johnson's Point as a spot for more beach, bars and restaurants just south of Picarts and Ffryes. No source opened gives depths; the west coast shoals well out from the beaches (ABYMA), so approach slowly with the sun high and anchor in sand. South of here the route inside Cades Reef needs good light (see Cades Reef).

Best for

A beach-bar stop on the west-coast run to Cades Reef
